Luncheon Pasta Salad

Luncheon Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie

A refreshing light pasta salad for a main dish luncheon or summer potluck. I like small or medium shell pasta, but elbow, ditalini or bow tie pastas are good choices too.

Think outside the box for your next slaw with this creamy deep red cabbage version. The dried cranberries are camouflaged by the cabbage color and provide a pleasant sweet taste surprise, while walnuts add extra crunch.

Guacamole Tex-Mex

Guacamole Tex-Mex by Amos Miller

Super simple - fast - packs just enough punch. It will be the best you ever tasted. Bring on the cervesas, margaritas - and lots of quality tortilla chips! Just like Chipotle - but homemade!

Crockpot Baked Potatoes

Crockpot Baked Potatoes by Salad Foodie

Technically these are not "baked" as in oven-baked. But this method yields surprisingly close results to the traditional baked potato. I had strong misgivings when I first came across this recipe, but when I tried it I was convinced it's the way to go for a fuss-free "baked" spud. The texture is much better than microwaved. The length…

Chow-Chow Relish

Chow-Chow Relish by Salad Foodie

Fall's green tomatoes are a perfect base for a batch of chow-chow. This pickled relish or condiment is lip-smacking good on hotdogs, hamburgers, fish, poultry, beans - oh, just everything! This version is a fusion of a friend's recipe and several others I compared it to, and I really like the results! A stash of 6 pints or 12…

From the Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen (July 2013), this easy recipe met my needs for a novel and nutritious way to use up the last of the season tomatoes. A nice change of pace from quiche for a brunch or light supper.

Amazing Zucchini Pie

Amazing Zucchini Pie by Salad Foodie

I came by this recipe from the Parents Action for Children web site, and as the name suggests, it is indeed “amazing.” Rather like a brunch quiche, this is one delicious way to serve summer’s bounty of zucchini. To simplify prep time, use a commercially prepared crust. Then just add a tossed salad and fruit for dessert!

Delicious, creamy (with no milk or cream!), and healthy. Makes a great side dish, or top with grilled chicken for a complete meal. Pairs well with grilled chicken, grilled or baked pork chops, baked or sauteed fish, or boiled shrimp.

Zucchini, Yellow Squash & Radish Salad

Zucchini, Yellow Squash & Radish Salad by Salad Foodie

So colorful, light and refreshing, this goes over well at summer feeds, and helps use up your garden harvest. Make this in advance to allow a thorough chilling, about 2 hours. It's best served the day made. Sub any veggies you want for variations, or change to a main dish salad over pasta. Leftovers can top salad greens for yet…

I’m on a mission to find great new (to me) recipes using zucchini, and this perky salad was the first to be tried. A healthy colorful side salad, full of summer garden veggies with a refreshing light dressing. It meets my criteria for a “Keeper.” Score One!
